2.2. Voltage Cables

The voltage cables available to connect the PowerMonic to the voltage of the equipment under test are: • PC4 single phase cable

• VL3 Three phase delta voltage cable

• VL4 Three phase Wye/Start and Split-phase voltage cable

• VL6 Delta, Three phase Wye/Star and Split phase voltage cable

2.2.1. Single Phase Cable (PC4-2) The PC4-2 is supplied for use in the office or for single phase measurements. This cable has an internal earth connection.

Fig 3 – Single phase cable (PC4)

2.2.2. Three phase 4-wire cable (VL4-2) The VL4-2 is a fused four-wire cable with 3 active and 1 common neutral termination. The VL4-2 cable-set is used for measuring single phase or three-phase four-wire (Star or Wye configurations) and split-phase systems. This VL4-2 cable is shown in Fig 4. When used to monitor single phase configuration the 3 actives should all be clamped to the A phase. Fig 5 shows the large clamps that are connected to the VL4-2. Each clamp hosts a fuse for safety. Fig 6 shows the Banana plug accessories with the small clamp attachments these also host fuses for safety.

This cable does not include an earth connection.

Fuses should only be replaced by an authorised person. If in doubt, return the cables along with the full PowerMonic system to the supplier for repair. Replacement fuses must be rated to HRC 2A, 38 x 10.3mm, 500V 100kA.

Fig 5 - Large clamps (AC4CL)

Fig 6 - Banana plugs with small clamp (AC4BC)

2.2.3. Three phase 6-wire cable (VL6-2)

The VL6-2s a six-way set (3 x active and 3 x neutral). This cable is used for measurement of three-phase three-wire systems (i.e. no neutral) such as Delta configurations as shown in Fig 10. VL6-2s also used to measure split-phase systems (i.e. 120v/120v/240v) and can be used for Wye/Star systems. When using the VL6-2 configuration, the three voltage channels are totally isolated from one another, so it may be used to monitor voltage sources that are floating with respect to each other.

The working voltage between cables must not exceed 500 V RMS.

The VL6-2 cable is available with the same accessories as is used with the VL4-2 but consist of three neutral’s color coded to match their phase. These are shown in Fig11 and Fig 12. These accessories are joined to the VL6-2 in the same way as the VL4-2.

This cable does not include an earth connection.

Fuses should only be replaced by an authorised person. If in doubt, return the cables along with the full PowerMonic system to the supplier for repair. Replacement fuses must be rated to HRC 2A, 38 x 10.3 mm, 500 V 100 kA.

2.5. Operating voltage range

The PowerMonic is capable of operating from 63-v520 ac and operating and measurement range is clearly labelled on the PowerMonic and listed within the product specification.

3. SAFE USE OF THE POWERMONIC

If you do not understand any instructions in this manual, ask someone to assist you.

The PowerMonic is intended to be used on low voltage energised lines or equipment (480 V RMS or less). Personnel using equipment on energised lines must be authorised by the relevant regulatory bodies to carry out such work and must have appropriate training. The information given in this document is given as a guide only. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that correct and safe procedures are followed at the actual worksite. CHK GridSense offers no warranty or indemnity for accidents that may occur when following these instructions.

The PowerMonic is rated at IEC61010 CAT III 440 Volts

Be careful when the PowerMonic is connected to a voltage source using a three phase cable (VL4 or VL6) - it is not grounded.

The PowerMonic and some types of voltage cables have internal HRC fuses. Do not attempt to replace these fuses in the field. Return the full PowerMonic system with the voltage cables to your supplier if you suspect a blown fuse.

3.1. Hazard assessment

Prior to using the PowerMonic, the operator must carry out a worksite, pre-job hazard assessment to identify the safety and environmental needs. This must be done prior to commencing work and prior to recommencing work after leaving the worksite. This hazard assessment should: • Identify possible hazards and risks. • Identify the safety needs of the job. • Identify the correct procedures, practices and equipment for the job. • Eliminate unsafe conditions and actions from the worksite. • Identify the need for personal protective clothing. • Perform an ongoing risk assessment during the job. 3.1.1. Live low voltage work

Check your relevant regulatory body's rules for working with live equipment.

For the correct and safe use of this equipment, it is essential that all operating personnel follow these safety procedures. When using a PowerMonic on or near live low voltage conductors, the following basic safety principles should be observed. See Fig 1 for typical work sites. Apart from the conductor that you are working on, you must be insulated from earth and any other conductor or maintain a distance of at least 500 mm (or other distance as required by relevant legislation or live working rules) from those points. • Use insulated matting to cover bare busbars and exposed

metalwork. • Use ground mats. • Wear protective safety eyewear and a hard hat. • You should be trained in first aid procedures and have a portable

first aid kit on hand. • When working alone, ensure that a responsible person knows that

you are working on live line equipment and will initiate emergency action if you do not call in within a specified period.


Fig 15 – Use of insulating mats in switchboard application

• When connecting the voltage cables or CT tongs to the conductors, do not assume that the insulation on the handle is adequate insulation. You must wear an insulating glove on each hand. Ensure that the exposed metal parts of the voltage cable clamps do not contact other conductors and cause a short circuit.

Insulating Gloves must be worn on each hand when handling voltage cables or CT tongs.

3.1.2. Equipment safety The PowerMonic equipment should be regularly tested and maintained to make sure the equipment and cables are in good order. INSPECTION BEFORE USE:

Prior to using a PowerMonic, you should check the following: • No outer sheath of any cable is damaged, and no inner insulation is

showing.

• The sheaths of all cables are secured at the ends.

• Plugs and connectors, including fuse holders are properly connected and serviceable.

• The operating range, as indicated on the front of the PowerMonic, is suitable for the application.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND TESTING:

The PowerMonic and cables should be inspected, tested and tagged on a regular basis (e.g. every 3-6 months). Testing should include:

• Inspection (as above).

• Insulation test conducted at 500 V DC between each phase conductor with a minimum acceptable level of insulation resistance of 1 MΩ.

• A record of inspections should be kept that shows: • Date of inspection, plant number or inspection number for the

PowerMonic/accessory.

• Results of the tests and inspections and details of any repair work.

• Signature of an authorised inspector.

EQUIPMENT FAULTS:

If the equipment is found to be faulty in any way, including blown fuses, it should be returned to your supplier for service.

CALIBRATION:

It is recommended that the equipment should be calibrated every 12 months.


CLEANING YOUR EQUIPMENT:

All equipment should be cleaned with a soft, moist cloth using only a mild detergent.

STANDBY BATTERY:

The PowerMonic uses a sealed cable acid standby battery to power the unit when loss of AC supply occurs for two minutes to allow logging of waveforms etc. Like all Cable Acid batteries, the performance of the battery will degrade if it is exposed to long periods of high temperature and/or it is allowed to discharge excessively. The battery life of the PowerMonic can be extended by following a few simple precautions as outlined below:

• When the PowerMonic is not in use it should be stored at ambient temperatures below 30o C

• When the PowerMonic is not in use it should be stored with a fully charged battery. This can be achieved by: - Charge the battery by energising the PowerMonic for 24 hours before storage - Recharge the battery after every three months of non use - Recharge the battery after each use of the PowerMonic

3.2. IEC 61010 Measurement Category Under the IEC 61010 standard, the location of the measured point determines the transient over-voltage stresses that may be imposed on the measuring equipment. This voltage is independent of the nominal working voltage (e.g. 240 volts) of the system The four measurement categories (also known as over-voltage Categories) are: Measurement

Category Description Examples

CAT I Measurements of circuits not directly connected to Mains

Secondary’s of low power transformers, Protected electronic equipment,

CAT II

Measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation

Household appliance, portable tools and similar equipment

CAT III Measurements performed in the building installation

Distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring, bus-bars, switches, socket outlets, industrial equipment such as stationary motors permanently connected to the fixed installation

CAT IV

Measurements performed at the source of the low voltage installation

Electricity Meters, overhead lines, primary overcurrent protection equipment, underground cables to remote equipment

Under the IEC 61010 standard, Equipment is assigned a working voltage value (e.g. 300 Volts) and a measurement category which reflects the amount of over-voltage stress that the equipment can tolerate. This is expressed as a CAT number and associated working voltage value. The PowerMonic is rated at Measurement Category CAT III, 440 Volts.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

8.1. The PowerMonic does not start up after applying power: When powered up, the PowerMonic LCD should show the instrument date/time and the log status. If the LCD remains off, check that the voltage cable is connected to the voltage connector and that the voltage cable is connected to the power point. Note that the PowerMonic is powered from the Black (A) phase. A minimum voltage is required for start-up. Refer to PowerMonic PM40 Specification. If the LCD shows only a dark bar on the first line, the PowerMonic is not functioning due an internal hardware fault or it may have lost the firmware from the non-volatile memory. Return the unit to your supplier for repair. 8.2. The PowerMonic does not display the Voltage/current values: If the values of voltages/currents do not display, you must configure the PowerMonic to do so using the PowerView software. The PowerMonic PM40 displays only the screens selected during configuration. 8.3. The PowerMonic displays the voltage/current values as zero: • Check the connections of the voltage cables and CTs. • Check the pins on the connectors on the PowerMonic,voltage

cables and CTs for broken, loose, or dislodged pins. • Check the fuses on the voltage cables. • Check for faulty signal inputs on the PowerMonic by swapping the

voltage or current inputs and checking the displayed value. • Check for faulty current transformers by swapping the current

inputs and checking the displayed value. 8.4. The PowerMonic displays incorrect voltage/current values: • Check that the voltage cables and CTs are connected to the right

inputs and phases. • Check the pins on the connectors on the PowerMonic, voltage

cable and CTs are not broken, loose, or has dislodged pins. • Check the fuses on the voltage cables.

• Check that the CTs' pole faces are free of dirt or rust. Poorly-maintained CTs may cause measurement errors.

The PowerMonic may need recalibrating. GridSense recommends that PowerMonic units should be recalibrated every 12 months. 8.5. The PowerMonic LCD shuts down immediately after removing power: When the power is removed from the PowerMonic , the LCD should remain active for at least 10 seconds. Typically the display remains active for a period of up to 2 minutes after the power is removed. The PowerMonic has an internal battery that maintains power during this power-off period. This battery normally discharges gradually over time. To recharge the internal battery, connect the PowerMonic to power for 24 hours. If the problem persists, the battery may need replacing and you should return the PowerMonic to your supplier for service. 8.6. The PowerMonic does not communicate with the PC using the PowerView software: • Check if the data cable (USBCABLE) is connected to the

PowerMonic's data connector and to the PC's USB port. • Ensure the initial set/up procedure detailed on pages 24-28 has

been followed. • Check that no pins on the PowerMonic's data cable (USBCABLE)

or the PowerMonic COM port are broken, loose, or dislodged. • Check that the PowerMonic is powered on and functioning. 8.7. The PowerMonic date and time are not correct: The PowerMonic clock can be set using the PowerView software. The internal clock is maintained during power-off periods by an internal battery. The clock can be synchronised with your PC or Laptop using the PowerView softwarre. If the problem persists, return the unit to your supplier for repair.
